Vanilla Wafers

Ingredients:

• 200 g of flour
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 120 g of butter at room temperature
• 100 g vanilla sugar
• 1 large egg
• 4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp. whole milk

Preparation:

1. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a small bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and vanilla sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes, stopping after 1 minute to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the egg and beat on medium speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the vanilla extract and milk and beat on low speed for 15 seconds. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed. Refrigerate the dough for at least 10 minutes before working with it.
3. Scoop the dough into balls with a teaspoon and place them on two parchment-lined baking sheets, about 35 per sheet. Press down on each ball with your hand to flatten them slightly. Bake two baking sheets at a time, rotating them halfway through, until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Place the baking sheets on wire racks to cool completely.
